The crosswalks, a symbol of LGBT pride, are now a permanent installation in Toronto's gay village.

Toronto joins West Hollywood and San Francisco's Castro neighborhood in adding a splash of pride to its streets. Toronto's new rainbow crosswalks are located at two core intersections: Church and Alexander street, and Church and Isabella, and are the perfect prelude to Toronto's WorldPride 2014 celebration. The crosswalks will welcome the city's tens of thousands of expected visitors, as will the 250 streetpole banners that accompany them.
